Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 412: Prison
Disappointed? Xu Shen knew he wouldn’t.
However, even though he knew the way to become a god, he could not become a god immediately. He still needed to wait for an opportunity.
Time flies.
Under Xu Shen's order, Yunzhong City was moved to the inner city. The original Yunzhong City was vacant, and prisons were built there to imprison serious criminals from various fields. The deepest rotten cave was guarded by the king.
Xu Shen went to Yuekong City in person to understand the technological significance that the priest mentioned.
This is an emerging city, filled with metal, machinery and steam. People are communicating on the streets, and the communications that were originally used for simple communication can now be used for simple entertainment.
The city is also addicted to various entertainments brought by technology.
However, in this city, there are actually no fog people. The number of ruins beheaders is even greater, and many of them even choose to be ruins beheaders on their own initiative.
Zhanxu academies were also established in various places in the city to impart Zhanxu knowledge.
The laws here are also different from other places.
Although it was his first time in this city, Xu Shen had a sense of familiarity.
This feeling is very strange. It is my first time to go to a strange place, but I have a trance feeling as if I have seen it somewhere before.
After Xu Shen's inspection, he agreed to the priest's request and decided to copy the system of Yuekong City to the inner city and even other lower cities.
In addition, Xu Shen was ready to break down the barriers and merge the inner city with the eight lower cities into a world city.
This process will take some time, but Xu Shen is the decision maker now. He has no shortage of time and can give orders for many things without personally supervising them.
As the anti-internal army was transformed into a regular army and ordered to reform, Xu Shen also learned from the anti-internal army the way to becoming a god that they mastered.
Find an intact body of an old god and you can become a parasitic god.
Moreover, they have clues about the bodies of the old gods.
One of the three forbidden areas in Xuhai, Shenlingxu.
Rumor has it that the old gods still exist there.
However, entering the Ruins of the Gods is extremely dangerous and difficult. Therefore, although the priests have this route in their hands and have secretly sent people to explore it over the years, all efforts have ended in failure, with no news.
After all, if there are gods in the Ruins of the Gods, for a mere king to set foot there would be tantamount to suicide in front of the gods.
Xu Shen was not satisfied with this reply. This clue was of little significance. After all, the success rate was too low. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was one in ten thousand.
The priest had prepared himself for Xu Shen's attack and had already thought of an excuse. Becoming a god was extremely difficult and a one in ten thousand chance was considered high. But to his surprise, Xu Shen only showed a little disappointment after hearing what he said but did not make things difficult for them.
For Xu Shen, the priest's approach was just an alternative.
Moreover, compared with the approach he had realized, Xu Shen felt that this method seemed to have some flaws.
To borrow the body of God, in a sense, is to give up oneself.
But in the end it depends on external forces.
While reforming the inner city and the outer city, Xu Shen also asked several kings to accompany the Star Lord to find the last suitable Xu soldier in the Guibu military book.
The Star Lord left the inner city and went to explore the wilderness.
This last soldier has not been found yet.
Xu Shen was not in a hurry either. He took the opportunity to adjust himself.
Becoming a god ultimately depends on himself.
Xu Shen planned to experiment with the method of becoming a god in the mind prison. However, when he used the mind prison, he had some doubts. Xu Shen could control other abilities easily, but he could not fully control the mind prison.
The environment on each level of the cage was different, and Xu Shen found himself unable to adjust.
It is clearly my own spiritual world, but I am not the master of it. This feels very strange.
Xu Shen felt that he might have underestimated this ability. Perhaps neither he nor Yono had fully utilized the characteristics of this ability.
After having this idea, Xu Shen decided to carefully explore the mind prison.
In the third level of the mental prison, Xu Shen is a patient locked up in a mental hospital with schizophrenia.
He tried jumping off a building, committing suicide, and going crazy, trying desperately to break free from the hospital.
The people around him play various roles in the hospital.
"Mom" is your own mother.
Jono is his own doctor.
Occasionally, I would be transferred to other hospitals and meet new patients and doctors.
Staying there for too long might even give people the illusion that that place is real and reality is just an illusion.
But with Xu Shen's current willpower, he will not be easily shaken and can easily break free from the third level.
He came to the first level of the cage, which he had never carefully examined.
The ratio of time spent here to that in the outside world is 1:1.
The speed of time is equivalent to reality.
The environment here also made Xu Shen feel familiar, especially after visiting Yuekong City, Xu Shen saw some familiar things reflected here.
In the first level of the cage, he is a teenager trapped in an earthquake disaster.
Buried under the collapsed building.
It was dark all around, with extremely weak light coming in from the cracks in the rocks, and wisps of light oxygen were also taken in from there, barely allowing him to hold on.
He was stuck inside, and his body seemed to have transformed into that of an ordinary person. He felt hungry, drowsy, and weak.
Next to him was a communicator with its battery drained out, which looked very similar to the ones in Yuekong City.
Trapped underground, Xu Shen knew nothing about the outside world.
But what made Xu Shen feel relieved and surprised was that Maeve was able to travel through his mental prison as always and was with him at this moment.
But Maeve was like an elf, and her movements were not restricted like him. Instead, she could move freely between the rocks, just like she was traveling through the ruins.
Maeve would often leave and bring back some food for Xu Shen.
Here, Xu Shen doesn't have to worry. He can look at Maeve face to face, contact her, and communicate with her just like he did on the third level of the Mind Cage.
Although it was a rare communication, the conversation between the two was not unfamiliar. After all, each other's voices often lingered in their ears.
Through Maeve, Xu Shen also discovered a little bit of information about the outside world. Everything around him had collapsed under the influence of the earthquake and turned into ruins.
The place where he was buried was quite deep, and there was an elevator, but the elevator was also collapsed. The button panel on it made Xu Shen realize that the building he lived in had nine floors. It was not a tall building, but it was not low either.
It would be almost impossible for Xu Shen to move the rock ruins with just his ordinary strength .
And because of the earthquake, the ground seemed to collapse and he was buried very deep.
The only thing I could find around me was a photo covered in mud and water, which was a photo of me and my mother.
Mom is long gone too.
Xu Shen could occasionally smell a faint rotten smell coming from the cracks in the rocks. If he was not mistaken ...
